This report describes the results of adult education students and upper secondary school students on two recently introduced standardized English tests in Sweden. Comparisons of the results are made between these two categories of students because they are entitled to compete, on an equal basis, for admission into restricted intake programs of study at Swedish universities and other institutions of higher learning. Test results indicated no substantial differences in proficiency between the groups of students compared. There was, however, a slight but statistically insignificant tendency of the secondary school students to do better than the adults. Analysis of results by sex showed that female students achieved higher total scores than male students on one test, but lower on the other. Females scored higher on essay portions of the test, whereas males tended to score higher on non-essay portions of the test. School leaving grades were higher for female students. A brief summary is provided of the outcome of a study determining the intra- and inter-rater reliability of the essay scores. (VWL)
